Aspen Colorado - Enjoy Your Winter Visit
With world-class shopping, a thriving nightlife scene, wonderful lodging options, and the country's best ski resorts all in just a few miles, Aspen, Colorado is the premier destination for those seeking a fantastic winter getaway.
Although mostly known as an outdoor winter recreation hub, Aspen offers something for all. Luxurious spas, theatre, shopping (yes we mentioned that again), and highly-rated restaurants some of the attractions you will find on this Rocky Mountain resort town.
Let's quickly cover the 3 basics associated with a vacation to Aspen, Colorado: shopping, nightlife, and skiing.
Aspen, Colorado nightlife.
If you want a friendly, laid-back hotel bar with affordable drinks and friendly service. So enjoy your trip to Copper Mountain.
Just kidding. Such as the expect the libations to be cheap within Aspen. That is the price you'll buy the privilege of ordering a draft of Fat Tire next to somebody like say, oh, Seal. (the singer, not the animal.)
The J-Bar in the Hotel Jerome is probably the many Aspen locations in places you might run into the famous and rich. The bar on the Little Nell is yet another the location where the well-heeled play. For a little more local flavor, (and spots just a little lighter about the wallet), try the Aspen Brewing Company (type of touristy), or Zane's. (More sports-oriented.)
Shopping
Galena Street downtown, right smack in the middle of Aspen, is your hub for world-class shopping. Whether it's charming, unique boutiques, the latest in trendy ski wear, fabulous jewelry designers, or famous, exclusive stores, you'll leave Aspen looking a lot better than when you arrived. The consignment stores here are classy. Clothes not your priority? What, have you been insane? Well i guess, then benefit from the myriad of art and home furnishing stores that dot the charming pedestrian malls of downtown Aspen.
Skiing
By the way. Aspen has skiing too. The main resort is Aspen Mountain, or as some locals (and tourists who try too much) call it: Ajax.
Founded in 1947, Aspen mountain has been thrilling (and scaring) skiers on a few of the steepest, most awe-inspiring terrain around. Runs marked "Most Difficult" and "Expert" make up over 1 / 2 of the runs at Aspen. For a slower experience, go down the road a bit, to Aspen's quieter little sister, Buttermilk, where gently sloping hills dominate. Aspen Highlands supplies the best views, and has much more of a relaxed vibe. You are able to ski in jeans here (like real Coloradoans often do.) Our final resort, Snowmass, is very family friendly. The 21 lifts and acres of terrain will ensure that everyone in the household - from green snow bunny to double-diamond stud - may have a lot of fun.
